W Living Shadow creates a clone that mimics Q and E, and can be recast to swap positions, functioning as both extra burst and an escape/repositioning tool
R Death Mark banks a percentage of all pre-mitigation damage dealt during the mark duration and detonates it at the end, rewarding landing Q/E/autos before the mark expires
